1. Numbers are given out at an unspecified time, though usually 6ish, and in the order in which folks are in line. You must be present and in line to get a number.

2. You aren't setting up camp in line. Most people use a chair to hold their spot when they use the restroom etc. They may also have a sleeping bag or some other means of staying warm at night. Some of the first people will be sitting in line day and night, that may seem to look like they are camping.

3. You won't be in line until 7:45, so you will be pretty far back, but I would think as long as you aren't trying for the front section, you'll be fine. Someone else may have better info on what to expect at that time.

1. Times often vary from day to day to keep us guessing. Really any time between 5:20-6:45ish!

2/3. Officially there is no camping, but yes, some spend the entire night. Most early line sitters are there before 5:00. You can still get under 150 by 5:00 but by 7:45, my guess us you'll probably be 200-300 or higher, especially by Saturday. That's ok though- Like PP offers, there's plenty of room, especially if you're ok behind the walkway break. I think the numbers go all the way to like 600+. It also depends on your tarp size. Since it's only two of you, you might even still find those golden slivers between the big tarps up front...

Are the numbers for shade tents the same as the main tarp line numbers? If you get a number at 6:30, do you then still have to stay in line or do you get to leave after you have a number until gates open?

I heard they are doing it differently this year, more like Rockygrass where folks will get a RANDOM number and wherever they are in line to get it will have no bearing. Not sure how that went today but I'll find out and post unless someone else can chime in.
